BrOOkville, on the Smoky Hill river,
in Ellsworth county and near the
county line, but chose to let the
matter pass, thinking Mr.. Rich
would return to his home and
friends. Diiigent search has been
made, but has failed to elicit any in
formation whatever concerning his
whereabouts.
He has been shipping cattle to
Kansas City for the market. About
two weeks ago he went down with
two carloads to that place, and it
seems from subsequent investiga-
tiOn that he disposed Of them and
drew the price Of one Of them, after
which all trace Of him ends. He
was reported to have been seen in
Ellsworth city the latter part Of last
week, but this seems TO have been
an error. No cause has been devel-
Oped, or Is knOWn why. he should
absent himself except as il Is thought
he has been fOully dealt with in the
city at the mouth Of the Kaw. He
was n man Of ordinarily good habits
and very generally respected among
acquaintance. He il comfortably
we'll OFF in this worlds goods, and
the value Of his shipments was but
small part Of his property as he
owns several thousand dollars worth
at his home in Ellsworth county.
Mr. Rich is a step-brOther Of the
Beans Of Saline eOunty-his mother
having married the elder Mr.. Bean
for her second husband. He il n
married man aud his wife Is greatly
concerned at the disappearance of
her husband.
Rev. a. J. HartsOck furnishes the
Mcpherson Freeman with the fol-
lowing interesting facts cOnceging
the late Louis DOnmyer:
The deceased was born i'm the last
year of the preceding century i'm
Center county, Pennsylvania, when
the United States government WAS
about twenty-five years old, was
buried i'm a grave dug In ground that
belonged, when he was boy, to the
French government. afterward sold
by Napoleon the First To President
JefleriOn at the rate of about one
cent for a hundred acres. The de-
ceased was from three to five years
old when the first raft fiOated down
the Allegheny river. He remem-
bered the war OF 1872, vas a voter in
| the election of John Quincy Adams,
and long before the day of steam
boats, harvesting and threshing ma
chimes, telegraph and railroads, and
in fact about all the great inven-
tiOns that have signalized the pres
ent century have been since his
manhood.
DIR. and Mrs. Schuyler, assisted by
Miss Daisey Campbell, gave a recep-
ton to the faculty, students and
friends OF the Kansas Wesleyan Tn
iversity, at their residence on Santa
Fe avenue last evening. The time
was pleasantly spent in social con-
versatiOu, the renewing Of old
friendships, and rIaking new ac-
guaintances. All felt il il was good
to be there. The DIR. and his esti-
mable wife gave every one such
hearty welcome that made one feel
at home. Such occasions are slim
illus to the social life Of society, the
influence OF which will linger long
in the memory. The students and
the faculty OF the Kansas Wesleyan
enter upon their labors for the year
with the determination Of grand sue
cess. Long may the Kansas Wes-
teyan live and prosper.
In this paper A. NJ. Campbell am
nounces that he will be a candidate
before the Republican county con-
ventiOn for the office Of Register Of
Deeds. Mr.. Campbell is one of the
best known citizens of this county,
"a well as one OF the oldest settlers.
His fitness for the Office is unques-
toned. Nearly all the candidates
for the county offices this fall are
anxious that the name of a. Nj.
Campbell should appear upon the
the ticket, as it will be q tower OF
strength to the ticket. His popular
ity is not confined solely to Repub-
licans. Hundred of Democrats have
pledged him their suppOrt-whether
his name should appear upon the
Republican convention ticket or not.
Only the greatest fraud and the freest
use Of money can cheat Mr.. Camp
bell out of the nomination, and once
/ in the field he cannot be beaten.
\ correspondent answering our
question "Why cannot Salina have
sugar works as we'll as Fit. Scott, -
complains that our citizens are be-
coming of late too Indifferent about
such matters and are too slow put
ting up" The correspondent furth-
er says:
| at. scott, il / remember rightly,
donated 30 acres Of land and
| liberal cash bonus besides to the
company to locate their works there.
There is no lack of opportunity to
secure Industries equally as desira-
BILE here il we would do our part; but
il we are to judge Of the interest
| taken in such matters by the citi-
zens by the attendance at the cit
liens meetings called at the board
Of trade rooms To consider the sub
iect, we must admit il is very small. ="
While the correspondent is little
strong in charging Salinas late in
difference about such matters, he
gives some wholesome truths. Sa-
lima has the necessary enterprise
and vim and force for all such pro-
iects; but just now it seems to have
become bottled" Wake up boys,
and 20 for 'em i'm the old style.
